Quality Care Consulting Solutions

Medication management is central to the quality of patient care in your hospital. Through our Quality Care portfolio of consulting solutions, we can help you identify ways to improve the flow of medications across your institution, provide solutions for medications to be monitored and managed with greater accuracy, and align your formulary and pharmaceutical policies with industry best practices.

Customers have told us we can accomplish in two days what takes some organizations two years. Our professional consulting solutions are based on a rapid implementation approach that includes a complete evaluation of your health system’s needs and goals across disciplines, a program(s) designed for scalability and sustainability, and efficient implementation and ongoing performance assessment.

      Medication Process

      Using a rapid implementation approach, we'll examine the flow of medications within your health system, from receipt and processing to dispensing and patient administration and re-engineer this process as needed—eliminating wasteful activities, building in error-proofing, tracking techniques, and improving standardization.

      Of immediate concern is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released proposed rule defining the term “meaningful use” of “certified” electronic health records (EHRs) requiring hospitals to demonstrate meaningful use of their EHR systems to qualify for incentive payments.

      Our consultants can help you achieve meaningful use through the deployment of a Rapid Clinical Adoption approach so you can qualify for incentive payments beginning in October 2010.

      Medication Policy

      Our pharmaceutical and formulary solutions, such as RxTrend® and RxFocus®, allow your organization to align with industry best practices. The goal is to create greater consistency in pharmaceutical decision-making; standardize product selection to more accurately predict outcomes and control risk; and identify gaps between policy and practice to ensure quality.

      Medication Tracking

      Our TrakRx portfolio of packaging and barcoding solutions work together to reduce medication errors and provide traceability in the delivery and administration of medications throughout your health system. TrackRx includes the most extensive formulary of barcode-enabled unit dose medications in the industry.

      Coordinated Patient Care

      We can help you ensure a seamless patient experience throughout the care delivery process—beginning with admission and continuing all the way through discharge and follow-up care.
